Life After Stroke Awards 2012
As the only UK-wide charity solely concerned with helping everyone affected by stroke, The Stroke Association recognises the huge and overwhelming impact a stroke can have.
Our Life After Stroke Awards celebrate the achievements of people of all ages who have shown tremendous courage following a stroke. They also provide the opportunity to acknowledge the work of carers, volunteers, stroke clubs and health professionals who show commitment and compassion in helping those affected by the impacts of a stroke.
Do you know a remarkable stroke survivor? Have you worked with a fantastic volunteer or Stroke Association affiliated group? Or do you know a primary care practice team that deserves special recognition? Nominate them for a 2012 Life After Stroke Award!
